My Aunt Venus NEVER lies. This chicken is delicious! :)

ingredients

2 lbs. chicken breast, cut into strips and flattened
1/2 C. water
1 egg
1 C. a.p. flour
Sweetened coconut
Buttermilk for marinating
Olive oil for frying

directions

1
Marinate chicken strips in buttermilk and s/p for 24 hours. This is essential, as it tenderizes your chicken.
2
Drain chicken, dip into water/egg/flour batter, then dip into coconut. Fry immediately until golden. (Low & slow is best.)

notes

I recommend olive oil or peanut oil for this recipe because they stand up to the heat. I prefer the clean taste of olive oil, but that's just my opinion.
